Manisha Eerabathini Instagram – Senti essay below but tldr: Here’s a little recap of our gig at @themoonshineprojecthyd last Thursday 🎤 Video Shot By: @hemanth_sikder Edit By: @naren.k Bass Guitar: @jagsonbass Guitar: @niteesh.mp3 Keys: @secret_agent_678 Drums: @akshay.athreya Violin: @sandilya_pisapati I came to India to pursue playback and to be honest, I didn’t place much importance on performing initially. As I slowly started to perform, I realized performing on stage is a whole different ball game than playback which I had focused so much of my time on. I understood that performing is ultimately about connecting with the audience. I started dreaming about jamming with a set of musicians and performing a set that we curate together. I finally got to properly do this with this gig at Moonshine – that’s why this was so special to me. And the timing was perfect because I had just released “Manasara”. I have to say, as scary as it was, I’m so happy I pushed myself to do this. I’m proud of myself. And the best part is, it can only get better from here! To all the negativity, naysayers, doubters out there (mainly the ones in my head), I say goodbye to you now because I don’t have time for you anymore. I’m on my own journey. It’s me, my music and connections made through that. Onwards and upwards – peace out to the noise ✌🏻 Special thank you to Jagdish, Akshay, Sandilya, Niteesh & Jay for not only being amazingly talented but also patient, excited and positive throughout this experience 🙏🏻 If you read all the way to here, comment a 🔥 – I see you! 👀 The Moonshine Project
